The problem with the Vega is the licencing of the games to run on it.
The game shown is an Exolon "style" game, not the original game by Hewson. It is fair and right that the developers should be paid for their work.
The Vega has been made by brilliant engineers, but the cost of a full size keyboard would be much more expensive and some games will need to be modified to use the limited keyboard unless a Bluetooth Keyboard can be attached.
Another problem is the TV connection. Presumably it will be a composite (yellow) cable which is fine but a piezo speaker is horrid. For 128k compatibility it should at least be a mono cable to the TV so you can adjust the volume or even ACB stereo from the AY chip with the beep mixed if they're really fancy. But in this day and age shouldn't it use an HDMI cable? How much would that alter the design and add to the unit cost?
I would personally prefer a 48k+\128k or +2 style keyboard.
At £100 a second hand laptop with a bunch of emulators may be better.
